Proton New Energy Technology (PRO-NET), has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with AMTEL Cellular Sdn Bhd. Together, both seek to collaborate on the safe transportation, disassembly, and disposal of electric vehicle (EV) batteries.

The partnership sees PRO-NET working with AMTEL, a subsidiary of AMTEL Holdings Berhad, to extend the lifespan of EV batteries and promote a more circular and sustainable approach to battery usage.

This includes recovery of valuable materials from used batteries and potentially repurposed for secondary applications such as new battery production or energy storage systems.

A recent projection from the Malaysia Automotive, Robotics and IoT Institute (MARii) suggests that by 2050, close to 870,000 EV batteries in Malaysia will require recycling. The growing number highlights the need for structured systems to manage end-of-life battery waste in line with environmental safety standards.

While there is currently no official mandate on EV battery disposal in Malaysia, PRO-NET says it is taking early steps to ensure the recycling process is both economically viable and environmentally responsible. The disposal work will comply with the Department of Environment’s (DOE) Electronic Scheduled Waste Information System (eSWIS).

AMTEL, which invests in R&D to explore additional uses for battery cells, is focusing on reusing them in battery energy storage system (BESS) applications, aligning with ongoing efforts to build a circular energy ecosystem.

According to AMTEL Cellular CEO Lim Hun Teik, the agreement reflects a shared intent to strengthen the broader EV ecosystem. This includes safe handling of used batteries, proper after-sales support, and a responsible approach to end-of-life battery management.

The Proton e.MAS 7, PRO-NET’s first EV offering, currently uses a short-blade lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery with cell-to-body (CTB) integration. The battery structure contributes to overall vehicle rigidity and has been a key highlight in the model’s safety credentials, including its top ASEAN NCAP rating.

The Aegis battery technology used in the e.MAS 7 recently underwent a pressure test that involved being run over by a 36-tonne tank. According to PRO-NET, the battery remained intact with no signs of bulging, leakage, or fire.

Previously, the battery had undergone a series of stress tests covering fire, water, extreme temperatures, impact and structural stress as part of its certification process in line with China’s latest national safety standards.

Globally, vehicles equipped with Aegis battery technology have reportedly not experienced any spontaneous combustion incidents, according to PRO-NET.
